Praise
Contra Principados Y Potestades
Reviewed by Caroline Knox
This Guatemalan group proves that they can certainly hold their own in the rock and roll realm. The tape, performed in their native Spanish, would be enjoyable to English speakers as well.
"Buscando La Repuesta", or "Looking For The Answer", is a catchy, upbeat song that had me singing along "El es la luz, Cristo Jesus!"
Praise seems to shy away from the all-out metal sound, often interjecting mellower tunes within the framework of the cassette. I only wish I were more fluent in Spanish, so that I could enjoy the lyrics more.
(Guitarist Luis Portillo has left Praise to form a heavier band called "Invasion". HM will keep you updated on their status.--ed)
